The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Nassim Nicholas Taleb argues that the events which reshape markets and lives are exactly the ones no model contained. The Black Swan makes that case through a turkey, a Las Vegas casino, and a long quarrel with the bell curve. Digressive, combative, and hard to shake once you have read it.
